Playlist for 4-16-2019 WFCF - Colors!

14 of them!

Last week (!) we had another color-themed show, with all new selections and hues...with entire hours dedicated to red and blue. In addition we listened to the entire wonderful "Standard Coltrane" album. You can listen to some of the show below.

If you listen to the show often then you might know that I like to eat. Therefore by necessity I also like to cook! If you enjoy cooking or just need some new dinner ideas check out my new food blog. No ads, no pop-ups!

As usually happens with random, ridiculous themes, some very nice deep cuts popped up (Bobby Broom, Herbie Nichols, Hal McKusick, Tom Harrell...) and some fine recordings I wasn't really familiar with - including the opening number by Benny Golson. Should be fun! Tune in Tuesday 2/13 from 3-7pm eastern with a break at 5 by clicking here or at 88.5 FM locally. See you then! - Kendo
